The world has seen a small army of Minecraft clones make their way to gaming consoles - some have been successful, others not so much. Developer Wobbly Tooth Games is the latest to join the trend (for a second time, actually) by bringing Battleminerz to Nintendo 3DS.

The game is a sequel to the studio's earlier effort Battleminer (a game released back in 2014 that we weren't particularly keen on). This new edition has been shown off in a trailer (which you can see below) and promises to 'build' (sorry) upon the original with a whole bunch of new additions.

The trailer states that the game will feature several modes including Adventure, Creative, Horde, and Battle, as well as supporting local and online multiplayer. There are functions for character customisation and this sequel includes new tools, weapons, and items. Oh, and you can ride a giraffe (which is always welcome in our minds).

Something perhaps worth mentioning is that Battleminerz will be available across all Nintendo 3DS models. This is hardly surprising but, for anyone who couldn't play Minecraft: New Nintendo 3DS Edition thanks to not having the updated console, this new game will be available to owners of all systems.

The game is scheduled for release in 'Winter 2017 and, naturally, we'll wait to see how this turns out before we jump on board. Would you welcome another game of this style on the 3DS, or do you think there are already enough options out there? Feel free to voice your opinions in the comments below.

Ryan’s that annoying kind of guy in multiplayer games - you know the one, the kind of person that throws a temper tantrum if he can’t be Yoshi in Mario Kart or gets stuck with the controller with the dodgy button. Yeah, that kind.
